The goal, according to the SysAdmin Day website at sysadminday.com, it to give the guys and gals who maintain your computer network some love.. and perhaps some nifty gifties!

All I got today was a request to fix something ;.....(I did give the gift of SP2 to a Windows server 2003 i386 folder by using slipstream. I would much rather have been swimming in a real stream.

"use sudo. su - is just as stupid as logging directly in."Ugh, the Ubuntu groupies ... logging in as root is not an absolute "Bad Thing." It's only bad for incompetent retards who have been using security-less operating systems their entire lives and don't comprehend the concept of proper security, and who need to be babysitted against using the root account, or who can't keep remember who they're logged in as and haven't heard of the 'whoami' program.
